In more news from today .... Bill Drom., beside being very early :)
also said he's got the Radio Electronics issue with the Mark-8 article
for our museum (and a Pennywhistle modem!) That's great news! We already
have the Popular Electronics "Build your own TV Typewriter" issue and
the Altair issue too. Anybody have the October '71 issue of Esquire
magazine to donate/loan to us? That's the one with the "Secrets of the
Little Blue Box" article.

Poptronics didn't come out until year 2000.
I searched Popular Electronics 1970 to 1974 (just the covers) but did not see any hint of Phone Hacking. IMHO, PE wouldn't publish such articles. I did remember seeing a phone dialer that accessed the 4th column, and I found the article in Jan 1976 of Radio Electronics. But they call it a "Pocket Computer Terminal" and a quick glance through the article does not reveal any mischievious uses for the device.
If I have more time tomorrow, I might continue searching RE back to 1970.

... Sorry, I m just playing the Garbage in - Garbage out game. I m sure most people know Poptronics was the result of two magazines merging to become one. I
